- The Indiana Department of Revenue ruled that a technology developer providing auction software is not a “marketplace facilitator.”
- The developer did not participate in bidding, take title to items, list products, act as an agent, or process payments for auction transactions.
- Customers of the developer handled their own payment processing and retained control over transactions, many of which occurred off-platform.
- As a result, the developer is not required to collect or remit Indiana sales tax on auction transactions conducted through its technology.
- The developer is still required to collect Indiana sales tax on its own sales of downloaded software and SaaS solutions.
